Topic: What Would You Do With This Child? Posted: Jan 07 2013 at 2:47pm |
if I knew Whitney had no other family and I could afford to and my family/other children is open to it and wouldnt suffer or do without ... yes
if I couldn't I would actively find worthy adoptive parents ... I wouldnt just leave the baby to foster care or an uncertain future (you can't predict the future but you can do the best you can with what you know/have)

Some people really don't want to be helped, like this girl who Whitley mentee. Being a mentor does not extend to raising someone's else child, because legally she doesn't have to. She can adopt it and then, yes, raise the child. But I'm glad she is doing something or else the child will be another of hundreds of thousands newborns in foster care.

I'm not. kids are already expensive. I can see the hesitation in raising a non-biological child.

I am reading about the new series on the O Network and this is the series based on Kim Whitley's new life.
The tentatively titled Raising Whitley is a Pilgrim Studios-produced docu-series that centers on actress and comedienne Kym Whitley and her group of friends – whom she refers to as "The Village” – as they attempt to do something none of them have ever done before: raise a baby together. The latter comes about when Whitley's mentee in the Big Sister program flees the maternity ward without her baby, leaving only Whitley's contact information to raise the child.
Would you raise the child? Say being a mentor does not extend to raising their kid?
